Edible arrangements are pretty expensive, I went to a local chocolatier and got a gift basket made with lots of yummy treats and my midwives loved it

They are expensive! I might check out the local places and see what else is available.

I think those cowl style round scarves are really pretty and in a neutral color would be easy for her to throw on when she runs out to a birth - plus, they are a bit more unique than a regular scarf.

ETA: the birth doll would be great - it can be a teaching model for her when she talks to younger siblings. I plan to get one when I become a midwife for just that reason.

She has an office and is in the process of opening a birthing center. Maybe something practical for that? She also loved the boob hats, so maybe I'll add a couple of those in there.

I thought of a felted purse. I know it probably wouldn't look too great if I tried to sew a lining in a regular one.
